This machine also uses 19 volts from an external PSU. Laptop power converters are available to step-up from 12 volts, so it could be possible to run this arrangement from a leisure battery and a photo-voltaic solar panel array. I would suggest that a voltage monitor inform the ITX of the battery and panel state, when used in this way.

To save on an extra PSU, the ethernet switch on top runs off 12 volts taken from a spare floppy connector inside the cabinet.

Update

This unit is now a Tranquil PC T2-WHS-A3G, with D945GCLF2 main board inside a WB2-076-300 Dataracks Elite 404 Wallbox that I got from Netshop

I used the Intel Integrator assistant to restore the original Intel factory settings, startup logo, and PXE capability to the unit.
